Alright, there's not too much to say about the Ghia as of yet.  It's dropped in the front with spindles & a 6" narrowed Chop Shop beam.  Beyond that, it has new pans and is almost completely rust-free.  Once the weather gets better, it'll be repainted (it will remain flat black) and I'll be getting a few more odds and ends done.  Future plans include front & rear air ride suspension...I'll try to keep this page updated on my progress.

Derik you have a great start on that ride. Love the stance and the black paint. I just started my rebuild a couple weeks ago and will try to keep updating along the way

Nice Ghia Derik, seen you on the Samba. The car looks really low. Almost too low for everyday street driving. Good luck with the project and keep posting up the pics. i am just about to start re assembly now that the pan replacement is done.

Damn I've always loved these cars. My first car ever was an aqua blue 56' - please keep me posted on the build. Welcome to the site and I'm giving you 5 stars to get you started. Check out and rate my Chevy Killer sometime - thanks!
